you want to keep?


Not as far as I know -- the only ones I've seen have been intact. The traditional designs rely on the top and bottom points of the egg being intact. Normally the eggs are hard-boiled, and eaten on Easter Sunday and after. My Dad remembers playing something like conkers with them during the NEP -- tap the eggs against each other and see whose cracks last. 

	Hmm...the only pysanky eggs I've seen have been
blown.  I can't imagine why anyone would go through all
that work for something that is only going to last a
couple of days before they get cracked and eaten.  I
know a few folks who do pysanky, and they all blow the
eggs and keep them from year to year.  Certainly all
the ones I've ever seen for sale were empty.

Best wishes,
